Introducing: TEAM NAGA 2025 ✨

As she confirmed her bid for Mayor in her home city, former Vice President Leni Robredo announced today the candidates selected for Team Naga's 2025 slate.

The line-up is the result of extensive consultations conducted by Robredo, who invited Naga's residents, organizations, and sectors to field and vet aspiring candidates.

"Ang aking mga kasama ngayon, lahat na-evaluate base sa tatlong kategorya: sa ethical standards, sa capacity at experience, sa governance," Robredo said in Bikol.

Outgoing Camarines Sur Rep. Gabby Bordado is the chosen candidate for Vice Mayor. Prior to his stint in Congress, Bordado served as Naga’s Vice Mayor, alongside Robredo's late husband, Jesse, who led Naga's model of good governance and people participation.

Meanwhile, in accordance with the rankings in the vetting process, the following will be Team Naga’s candidates for the City Council (left to right):
• Outgoing City Administrator Elmer Baldemoro
• Incumbent Councilor Jess Albeus
• Incumbent Councilor Gayle Abonal-Gomez
• Outgoing City Budget Officer Frank Mendoza
• Atty. Areiz Macaraig
• Former City Health Officer Dr. Butch Borja
• Former Councilor Miles Raquid-Arroyo
• Incumbent Councilor Omar Buenafe
• Incumbent Councilor Jose Perez
• Incumbent Councilor Oying Rosales

A tradition started by her late husband, long-time Naga City Mayor Jesse Robredo, all aspiring candidates were vetted based on a criteria that included integrity, character, experience, and contribution to people empowerment. Over 2,000 Nagueños participated in this process.

Prof. Walden Bello has my full support in the filing of his petition before the Supreme Court that essentially seeks to decriminalize libel and cyberlibel. Among the first bills I filed when I became Senator in 2016 was one that specifically aims to remove the penalty of imprisonment for libel. Prof. Walden and I, along with the other speakers of truth to power in our country, know firsthand the dark side of how such draconian measures are being used to stifle dissent, attack free expression, threaten media independence, and ultimately, weaken democracy. No to weaponization of the law. Yes to civil liberties. Let’s always foster an environment for healthy and well-informed debate where no one is unjustly silenced.
